1 sentence can split your life into before and after
I still remember the exact moment. I was doubting myself, half-ready to walk away from something. Then someone said ten words that stopped me:
โ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ. ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐งโ๐ญ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฒ๐๐ญ.โ
Nothing magical happened that day.
No promotion, no stage lights, no applause.
Just a tiny shift.
Thatโs the thing about words.
They donโt just land. They linger.
These are my 3๏ธโฃ tidbits to think about:
1๏ธโฃ Ordinary Conversations
Most life-changing conversations donโt happen on stages. They happen in corridors, car rides, after meetings, reading a newsletter or between sips of coffee. Stay present for those ordinary conversations. Theyโre turning the pages for your next chapter.
2๏ธโฃ Right Voice at the Right Time
We donโt always hear the truth until it comes from the right voice at the right time.
Sometimes itโs a mentor.
Sometimes itโs a stranger.
Sometimes itโs your own reflection finally catching up with your potential.
3๏ธโฃ Pay It Forward
If words can change your direction, imagine what yours can do for someone else.
One sentence of belief.
One conversation.
One moment of courage.
So hereโs my challenge for youโฆ
Find one person whoโs ready, but doesnโt believe it yet. And say the words I once needed to hear.
Thatโs all it takes to give someone their before and after.
Thought Provoking Quotes on this weekโs topic
Susan Scott
Our work, our relationships, and our lives succeed or fail one conversation at a time. While no single conversation is guaranteed to transform a company, a relationship, or a life, any single conversation can. Speak and listen as if this is the most important conversation you will ever have with this person. It could be. Participate if it matters. It does.
The Dalai Lama
One moment can change a day, one day can change a life, and one life can change the world.
